I wish they made a curved version of this. After using a curved monitor for like 6 years, sitting too close to a flat screen (working/design & gaming), i feel like a flat screen is bending backwards (opposite direction of a curved monitor) in the middle. Makes me actually nauseous and its impossible to not focus on the middle of the screen. This is the monitor I have waited for 3-4 years now, and I hope LG can make it curved. Anyone else with the same issue as me, or am I just weird? :)

[@20quid]

Another benefit to using a TV over a monitor that you didn't mention is that you can use window tiling to make the worlfow of a 4K 48" TV identical to four 24" HD TV's without any bezels between them. Great for all of the multi-monitor users. Plus a lot of modern TV's support Bluetooth, so you can pair your headset to your TV instead of your computer, and when you want to play a console the sound still comes out of your headset without having to reconfigure anything.

[@Bdot888]

Exactly, they are so versatile. I like to use BT earbuds on the LG to sit back and watch content without waking up the rest of the house

[@00Salts]

I'm rocking this setup, and would love some advice you have on getting best tiling experience on mac, linux, and windows (Use a bit of all of the above for work..)

[@danieldougan269]

I use window tiling on my 24" 4K monitor to have four 12" HD monitors (like small laptop displays). The text can be a LITTLE small, but it's still quite readable, and I do it all day long for work. Still, I think it would feel better with a 27" or 28" monitor. But, in my room and on my desk, every inch of space matters. I have a Varidesk 48" on my IKEA Jerker desk to switch between sitting and standing. I have two Dell P2415Q monitors on the desk. I use the monitor on the right when I sit and the one on the left when I stand or, more specifically, when I walk on the treadmill. If I could just sit in the middle, then one larger monitor would work, but there's a chair on the right and a treadmill on the left.

Got this Tv/Monitor a month ago and wall mounted it, helped with the view distance. So far most games will allow the Black bars or changing the ratio from 16:9 to 16:10(apex) or 21:9 will shrink the image and use a 2550 x 1600 or the like on about 32 inch. I have to say its cheaper than the 38 inch ultrawides and the OLED color and contrast makes many games look much better. I have to say im very happy I went this route . Biggest suggestion is make sure you can wall mount and get that 3 ft from the screen. If you use a smaller resolution and or window mode, most tv mounts pull closer to make up for the smaller image .

[@dimi476]

I just made the move. I wanted to upgrade size wise and most reports (e.g. from hardware unboxed) were unanimous that 40+ inches 4k monitors are still very underwhelming (especially considering their price). This OLED TV though has unanimously good reviews so I pulled the trigger. I can give 3 main feedbacks. First the response time and input lag in game mode are great. I do not see any difference compared to my previous PC monitor. This thing handles just like a monitor and if you didn't know it's a tv you wouldn't guess. Second, the colors and blacks are just phenomenal in my opinion. So if it's mostly important for you that games, movies etc just look amazing (vs for instance pure performance in FPS) then this is the way to go. Gaming on this thing is an experience! (I have a water cooled RTX3080 pushing pixels to it) Third, the size. You get used to having such a big display on your desk really quickly. It feels strange maybe the first day or two but after this adaptation time it's not an issue at all. You need at least 100cm desk depth though, realistically. keep in mind that 20cm are lost due to the "buttock hump". Any desk depth between 100 and 120 cm will do great. I wouldn't use this on a 60 or 70cm deep desk. I was also looking more for a 42 or 43" display initially, now I feel like 48 ain't that big actually. Definitely big enough but not overwhelming at all. I would not switch it for a 42" version even if I could. Tech Chap the reviewer gave the feedback that he had to switch back after one month, but you'll see in his video that his desk is really narrow. He's clearly missing 40cm desk depth. Just as an info my desk depth is about 110 cm. One more point, make sure you use an ultra high speed HDMI cable when gaming. Destiny2 for instance looked all glimmery and off until I received my HDMI 2.1 cable. Then all of a sudden the game looked gorgeous. I suspect my previous cable just didn't have the bandwith to send textures fast enough. Also make sure your room will be dark to semi-dark without any light source behing you (like a window). This thing has a glossy pannel and being an OLED, has limited brightness. I'm in a semi dark room, meaning there are windows just not with direct exposure to the tv and I have 0 reflection or brightness issue. You'll need to invest some time customizing all of the TV's parameters. But it's well worth it. This will be my display for the next 5 to 10 years. If you're still hesitating, my advice would be order it from a trusted shop where you know you'll be able to bring it back/return it and try it out in your setup. Chances are you won't need to return it ;)

[@JoeCastellon]

I too am wondering about burn in. It's my only concern regarding this display.

[@FsimulatorX]

Would the 42 be alright with a desk-depth of 76.2cm/30in?

[@dimi476]

@@FsimulatorX it depends on your preferences but dimension wise it should probably work out. Keep in mind you lose quite a few cm because on the base. The best would be to get it from a place with a good return policy and try it for a few days. If it's not good, you could have headaches or neck strain after a day or two.

[@dimi476]

@Abhishek Srivastava I've had the TV for more than a year now and I use the screen almost all day every day looking at charts and excel sheets. I don't have a single issue with burn in or pixel damage yet (knock on wood). I implemented a few measures you need on a screen like this such as rotating wallpapers, auto hiding task bar and no icons on the desktop (nothing static basically). Every time I walk away from the desk for more than 5-10 min I switch it off. The TV itself has a bunch of features to prevent and correct burn in. Linus from LTT made a video about it. Showed that the TV can repair most of the burn in if it happens. It's also important to note that I run the TV at around 60% brightness and oled brightness. I think this goes a long way to protect it. I'm in a room with lots of windows and light colored thick curtains which means lots of diffuse light and the 60% looks great. Something to try in your set up if you got it from a place with return policy.

[@voidfahrenheit105]

great feedback. this is what i'm looking for. :) planning to use it daily for photo editing and gaming.

[@kelathos]

I have the feeling that, if one can purchase the hardware necessary to drive a 4k display at high frame rates, then the price of this OLED is likely a non-issue. This is certainly top tier stuff all around. Plus it doubles as your actual TV in a small room. Nice combo there. I'll keep this on my wish list, not that I expect to afford it or the PC that can run games properly on it.

Hey, at 11:43 you mentioned that Game mode ain't as color accurate, it's a bit hidden but actually you can configure the TV in a PC mode which is also input lag-free and have a better color accuracy. To do that, you need to go to the "sources" panel (called my home or something like that), edit HDMI labels and choose the PC icon for the HDMI you're using for the PC. When you do that, picture modes configurations you've made will reset (actually I think it loads a new set for the PC mode, but if you go to HDMI labels and switch back to the previous type it will load your old configs) and now you'll have also slightly different modes and configs if I remember well.

48" is pretty big for a desktop monitor. I have 2 4k monitors (NOT TVs) on my desk. Acer 32" 4K and 43" 4K. And both of them together probably cost 1/3 ($700 for both) of what this OLED does. The level of enjoyment varies depending on the task. WORK / surfing / productivity = 43" is great. Huge spreadsheets? Code? Visio's, etc. It's all good. 32" could be bigger. I'm sitting about the same distance from both, and I have to turn up DPI / scaling / window zooming. I have a hard time reading things sometimes when remoting to another system via RDP or Horizons etc, where it's not easy to adjust size. PLAY = 40" would be great. I wish the 43" was a little smaller. Why is 40" not even an option? MKB games in fullscreen 4k are right in your face. I have started using a controller for everything except strategy games. Bonus points to Linus for showing Civ 6... for Civ, MORE BIGGER = MORE BETTER. Bigger maps, etc. Either way you go, 4K is THE WAY. I would love to check out this OLED Linus is using, but those things are NOT CHEAP. And since I don't have a brand new GPU, having monitor with Displayport is the way to get 4k/60. Last thing, and maybe it's just Acer's monitors (I have really only used Dell and Acers)... the OSD menus SUCK. The little joystick on the back to navigate the menus SUCK. Something as simple as CHANGING the video input source can take 10 clicks. It should be 1 or 2. Also (ACER anyway) if the signal drops or source is off... the monitors FREAK OUT trying to get into the menu to change the input. It's like they are searching for an input signal and don't want you telling it which port to look on. I'm betting that's an Acer thing, you make a tradeoff somewhere for being cheaper than Dells.

[@AlexDerBoss1]

@Frank Silvers Aside from LG's own measure against burn in, there are a number of things you can stick to in order to prevent burn in. The biggest point is to use the screen in normal "office" mode at a low brightness. I use SDR 30% and HDR 80% (only in games). Furthermore, you should vary the position of your static UI elements more often. I regularly move my Windows bar and automatically hide it when possible. This should make burn in extremely unlikely.

[@AlexDerBoss1]

@Frank Silvers I totally understand your point. Although I can't quite understand the negative approach. Believe me, this OLED at 30% looks way better and brighter than any mid-range monitor I've had before. And looks insanely good while gaming on 80%. And it looks even better at 100% when watching Dolby Atmos Movies. For someone like me (tech nerd), it's perfect. Working by day and gaming/watching movies by night. I am young so my apartment space is limited. So it's perfect to cover all usecases with one device. And for me personally, it's worth the risk of burn in (even if I STRONGLY reduce it by the described measure). But it's not for everyone if the benefits from this setup don't outweigh the risk. I see you.

[@Kryptonic83]

I've been using one of these as a monitor for the past month. OLED is so damn good, I don't think I could ever go back. I have a 27" in portrait mode beside it to leave up more static pages like discord/browser etc. Black background, move task bar to other monitor (auto hiding taskbar still tends to leave a visible line), extension to hide scroll bars in browsers, full screening browser windows.

It's a subtle effect most might just shrug over, but it makes a huge difference in actual image fidelity (or experience) when visual quality matters (basically in game "graphics" it makes a world of difference).

[@ndt7379]

Wouldn't this be a problem for any person who regularly uses their computer for gaming or work? The standard UI for games and program menus that don't move would eventually create burn in those spots from the average gamer playing 3-4 hours a day.

Burn-in is very real. Having played Minecraft on my 55" LG E8 OLED, I when there are fields of certain solid colors on-screen, I can see 10 little heart icon shadows on the screen where they would normally be during the game, despite the built-in burn-in protection and "refresh" routines.

[@eiszapfenderwutendenwinde3233]

How long are your Mincecraft game sessions? Over 10 hours? Have you tried to run flickering images for a longer period of time, to "reactivate" those sections of the screen? Sometimes you can even affect "dead" pixel, by touching the affected areas on the screen. Like massaging them out/ no joke. Also, don't mistake "burn in" with "Image Retention". Image Retention goes away after some time. Now's the question, are the hearts permanent since then?

[@Cryocide]

@@eiszapfenderwutendenwinde3233 My game sessions rarely ever went longer than about 5 hours. The issue with OLED screens isn't that they get stuck like LCD screens, it's that the tiny LED pixels physically wear out over time when they're lit. When you run a screen refresh cycle on the panel, it simply tries to lower the power on the the less-used pixels so that their brightness is comparable to the ones that have experienced more watt-hours. Image retention on OLED displays never really goes away since the material in LEDs physically decays (very slowly) over time when they're energized. It can only be disguised. Unfortunately in the case of my TV, despite the efforts of the manufacturer, those little hearts still remain as shadows when certain solid colors are displayed. You can read about LED decay here: ledlightinginfo.com/do-led-lights-get-dimmer-over-time

*"i moved from crt and i skipped lcd all together and how glad i am of that"* I did _exactly_ the same thing! I had an FW900 for 10 years, and then used a 22" 4:3 flat screen CRT for 4 more years until it started smoking (I don't allow smoking in the house). I had been hoping and hoping for OLED monitors since ~2010, and when the 22" CRT gave out in 2018 and I couldn't find a good CRT at a reasonable price, I bought an OLED55B7A. It's a downgrade from a CRT in many ways of course, but I can't think of any gaming display that would be better without spending tens of thousands of dollars. I use it for "High FOV Gaming", which means I have an eye distance as close as 18" from the 55" display, giving me an _actual_ or hardware FOV of ~110°, which is higher than a Vive or Rift. That allows me to raise the in-game or software FOV to 110° with zero distortion, because distortion is not caused by a "high" FOV--it's caused by a mismatch between in-game and actual FOV.

The guy claimed the HDMI 2.1 ports weren’t really 2.1 (for reasons I couldn’t follow), and therefore one would never be able to future-proof with the CX. To complicate matters further, I can’t really tell if ANY of the HDMI ports on this 48” LG OLED are 2.1 or not? Also, does your C10 now support 48 GBPs, per the patch that Linus refers to? Finally, and most importantly, are you saying that the “picture quality is insane” as a monitor when you’re playing games, or as aTV when you’re streaming movies or watching Blu-ray Discs? Many thanks!

[@dalethomas7944]

@@ttaylor5847 So the ports are 2.1 for sure. They used to only transfer 40 GBPs but with the patch it is now 48GPS. It wouldn't have mattered any how because the only difference between the data 40GBs can transfer and 48GBPs can transfer are more colors. The additional colors that could have potentially been transferred don't matter because no TV can produce them. They created a way to display more colors in the future but tvs wont have the ability to use it for prolly a decade, so all the additional bandwidth (48 over 40) isnt important. By insane I mean the picture is amazing for everything. I use it as an everyday computer monitor but I also use it to watch netflix, football, etc. I use it to watch everything.

Using a 40" 4k monitor for 6 years now I can tell you the real downside to some gaming on a large monitor: RTS games are worse on large monitors because the minimap is on a further edge of your vision and you're going to be worse at reading it. I had to adjust over time while playing Dota2 and rather than look at center screen, I look at the center between the minimap and the rest of map. Otherwise, I prefer 40" size and probably wouldn't want to get any larger. The large size feels great for all other games and I prefer it over a smaller monitor.

[@sloppyprogrammer4373]

Pro RTS players prefer 24 inch or smaller screens. Back when SC2 was still super popular (somewhere between 2011 and 2015), you had some pro players in tournaments that were adjusting the screen size to something that matched their 19inch displays (GPU / Display scaling).

You explained why I did what I did the way I did it. Using a 65 " Onn I attached a Dell Optiplex with an I 5 four core cpu, 16 gigs ram, and a SSD. The settings for You Tube allow me to have white typing on a black background. That and an RGB strip on the backside gives me ambient light reflected off the wall behind it. Then I park myself on a reclining couch with a wireless keyboard/mouse. The coffee table has those scissor hardware things with counterbalance springs to bring the surface right up to me and away from fur people who might want me to multi task my right hand to scratch them and surf. I'm not big on gaming though I have a PS3. The DVD/RW does it's thing well. No burn in for the two years I've been running it. Not even from thumbnail pictures.

I have a C9 oled and had a samsung plasma in the past both used as computer monitors. Never had an isssue with burn in. And mine is on longer than the normal users would be. Honestly you have to try pretty hard to mess one up. Like leave the brightness setting cranked way up and watch CNN or something with a ticker on the screen all day long.

[@killerfugu2659]

I need OLED to hurry and make its way down the stack. Using 4k 120Hz at 27" atm, don't care too much for going higher refresh but having an OLED panel around this size would be glorious.

What do you expect from an OLED TV? It's even cheaper than the best monitors (4K 144Hz G-Sync that are not HDR or Oled and are 27" and $2000). This is even 48"! In one year, the price will be the half.

Picked this up used on e-bay for just under $920 USD including shipping. Only listed defect is a dent/scratch on the base. Not substantial. Looking forward to its arrival. Edit: Read the description again... The dent is on the bottom of the TV, including the screen. Now I'm worried my experience will be compromised because e-bay's refund policy is rarely on the user's side. They don't even let you request one within 24 hours except for very specific reasons.

I'm actually planning to buy the CX OLED, either 65 or 77". My partner and I only just discovered the glory of this TV last week while Christmas shopping, and we were blown away, ready to walk away with one on the spot. Decided to just wait until January 11th for the CES event to see if there are new updates to the OLED TVs, as well as potential price reductions.

CX is a great choice. But i will just point this out; if you want the best picture quality you should go for the sony A90J

I use for a while now an LG 43 inch 4k. I like it very much. Also, just activated the powertoys that could be helpful. The things I like about it is: You basically run 4 1080 21 inch without bezel. You don't need scaling, you don't have to think about the position of the tv, only think of the position of the window.
